“Sometimes, for me, it feels like my grief is eating me alive. I always thought that the hardest moments would be when I remember things about her, but that's not true. The hardest moments are when I miss her in the future.”

“Ležim u krevetu i zurim u sliku s tog seoskog vjenčanja. Poželim čašu onog vina u tamnosivoj, visokoj čaši što ju je moja majka kupila u robnoj kući i onda donijela na selo, komplet s vrlo teškim vrčem u koji se točilo vino. U takvim sam čašama provodio seoska ljeta. U tom sivom, debelom staklu, zaštićen od bljeskova, od dodira i od tuđih usana. Bio je to praznični komplet, za goste. Ali samo načelno. Ustvari, te su čaše bile moje i bratove. Iz njih smo pili bevandu, limunadu i u boljim danima Cedevitu. Ja sam se u njih i skrivao, pri svakom strahu ili udarcu dječje tuge, sklonio bih se u to sivo stako, iza čvrstog staklenog obruba koji je imitirao konopac. I to je sklonište radilo. Samo je trebalo zatvoriti oči, naći negdje na jagodicama prstiju barem tihu kretnju i njome se uljuljkati. Ali sad, ja želim otvorenih očiju, zagledan u svoga oca, uz automobil, s ružmarinom u zapučku, ući u tu čašu, ali ne uspijevam.”

“Why do we as animals often struggle to cope with suffering and devastation that occurs because we are so far removed from our dear loved ones who have departed from us forever in the heavenly realms or when we encounter a challenge in our own life situations that may take us down a downward path of emotional disempowerment?" The Rabbit remarked. The eagle responded, "to achieve an environment of lasting peace, we need adversity and the harrowing experience of living through tragic events. No matter how hard we may strive, it is inevitable that we will all have to endure hardship at some period of time in our journey through our lives. Every animal inherits the same inherent defect, just like the wind will carry us away into the infinite abyss at the very moment of death. While you may decide to pursue happiness, you may also have the choice to suffer grieving as well, and it is up to you, as all of us will always have the gift of guilt which is keeping us in the present circumstances that we find ourselves in.”
